The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

This is the best update by far

Now killers are finally a killer. No more having to think about dead hard is a dream coming true. I can finally hit survivors without them having a crutch perk third health state.

I'm also glad that survivors are giving up or disconnecting. Sweet, sweet karma.

    5 games, 5 sluggings so-far. Dead hard nerfed to hell, healing atrocious. This game won’t be long for me or my friends.


    just as a counter…

    I mean, I'm kinda happy about the DH nerf? Like, I would rather have kept it than get a pile of even more survivor sided maps, gutted regression and a CoH that is completely useless in solo q, but extremely broken when abused by SWF. I just didn't feel that DH was that terrible, it was just annoying.

    I also feel BHVR should balance maps, instead of just making random ones more survivor biased. Its been like this for the pasr year, starting with eyrie and the only "balance change" was slightly reducing pallets and size.

    now 8 games in, slugged in every match so-far.

    If people think that’s fun, it’s not.

    Plus, sure SWF is annoying, but you’ll just get a lot more running from gens, sprint burst, head on, off the record and so-on. This may not work out in a ‘fun’ playable way for killers anyway.

    It's okay that mean old Dead Hard can't hurt you any more.

    DH? Good riddance. I hate this perk.


    Because with nerfed Spirit and Nerfed Nurse Dead Hard was insanely overpowerd. As spirit I have to wait another 15 seconds to hit them again which was SUPER PUNISHING.

    FOUR HEALTH STATES?!! REALLY?!!!

    But the biggest winner here is Blight… he can almost immediately get his power back so Dead Hard didn’t really hurt Blight as much as Nurse and Spirit.

    DH will be back. It’s the same as is was, excluding first chase. Same thing happened last time they nerfed DH.

    DH I feel torn on. I think it's good that other perks are going to be used more frequently than they were but I don't like the way they went about it with the nerf.... I'd rather strengthen other perks than nerf them into the ground (and I don't think DH is nerfed into the ground, but that's typically been the trend).

    Despite my plans to give it a few days before playing, I've had 5 games and most of them were with the sweetest players !

    I was actually on the same team in one as a Trickster who killed me and my friend last month and it was very funny seeing him again on our team this time. Also had a very nice Deathslinger giving me door and being cute in chat, which was very appreciated considering he is the killer I dislike facing the most purely for his TR.

    Might be the new patch effect where everyone is still finding their mark, but it was a great evening overall !

    Also, I barely even noticed the self-heal change. 24s for medkit heals addonless is really good !

    I think DH just needed it's speed boost removed. It's enough to get you to a window or a pallet, but the speed boost on top of it was just too much.

    Every survivor can use DH twice per game. Thats not that terrible tbh.

    Ooh that karma bit. Not a great look getting mad at a perk in game

    I noticed a bit of a change but I do run Resilience on people anyway so I'm already used to not being healed for a majority of matches

    I noticed tunneling has increased once again, and almost all matches today had either tunneling or camping. Yeah, thats really boring. As killer, however, matches were even easier than before.

    ...You had me with the first half...

    But I do agree that only worrying about DH once the hooks start happening is way less stressful and punishing. The regression perk nerfs are fine because I ran Deadlock and Grim Embrace like a gigachad.

    TIL that killers are still super mad about dead hard to the point where they rejoice survivors dc'ing even though their dc's have nothing to do with dead hard nor its nerfs. The more you know!
